Portugal opted to face Nigeria in the build-up to the 2022 World Cup, and it will do so again before flying out to North America this summer.

For the second World Cup in succession, the Super Eagles failed to qualify—a notable disappointment, given its expansion to 48 teams. Africa will instead be represented by Algeria, Cabo Verde, DR Congo, Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, South Africa and Tunisia.

Portugal was bereft of issues during qualifying, excluding a 2–0 defeat to the Republic of Ireland when Cristiano Ronaldo saw red. A normal suspension would’ve seen him miss the start of the tournament, but FIFA has ensured that one of soccer’s biggest pulls and most marketable stars will feature from the outset at his last World Cup.

Ronaldo played the first half of Saturday’s 2–1 win over Chile, with Gonçalo Guedes and Bruno Fernandes finding the back of the net after the restart. Portugal must expect a relatively tricky test against Nigeria on Wednesday, even if the visitors are without Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman.

Here‘s how you can tune into Portugal’s upcoming friendly on TV.
